Show me where any of this proves without a doubt that second-hand smoke ISN'T harmful or at least irritating. Given that there's some chance it COULD be harmful to some predisposed people and most certainly is irritating to others, I used to take the time and effort (and some inconvenience) not to smoke around my children.
Well, you must not have grown up when I did. Smoking around our kid and our friends smoking around their kids never hurt any of them. Never.
And how many times do I have to POST this?? And this is just ONE article or research against shs being a killer!
Oak Ridge Labs, TN & SECOND HAND SMOKE
Statistics and Data Sciences Group Projects
I think any anti who tries to dismiss the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy labs at Oak Ridge, should be confronted with the question: "Are you saying that DOE researchers committed scientific fraud and that their findings on ETS exposure are untrue?"
But where does this Taliban-like anti-smoking campaign come from? It can't really be this stuff about second-hand smoke. The famous 1992 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study showing a causal relationship between second-hand smoke and cancer was so roundly debunked as junk science (even by other federal agencies) it was finally declared "null and void" by a federal judge. Sure, second-hand smoke can be annoying, and it can't be healthy, but if you relegate smokers to their own enclosed space _ say a bar or a separate part of a restaurant where people, including staff, only go of their own free will _ who can object?
